Chapter 225 N added , Also , my grandfather has a medical book hes having trouble understanding , and hed love for you to help him with it .


    Andrew smiled warmly .


    Of course .


    If I have the time , Ill be happy to visit him .


    Her pale cheeks flushed as two adorable dimples appeared , and she practically skipped away , beaming with excitement .


    Christina sat to the side , watching the exchange with a bitter feeling .


    Andrew , that nurse is from Jayrodales Goth family , isnt she ? Andrew nced at her , puzzled .


    Im not really sure about her background .


    Christina let out a bitterugh .


    Come on , stop pretending .


    Its written all over her face .


    Shes one step away from throwing herself at you .


    She continued , Ever since you left me , your luck with women has skyrocketed .


    First , there was Ms.


    Rhodes , then Ms.


    Aicker , and now this little nurse .


    Andrew , maybe leaving me was the best decision you ever made .


    Andrews expression stayed calm as he met her eyes .


    Whats your point in bringing this up ? And lets not twist the story , I didnt leave you you and your ambitions pushed me away .


    I was nothing more than an inconvenience to you , someone you kicked aside without hesitation .


    You havent forgotten that , have you , Ms.


    Stevens ? Her face flushed red , her pale lips trembling as she tried to respond .


    Y You know thats not what I meant .


    Andrews voice turned colder .


    Whatever you meant doesnt matter to me anymore .


    His bluntness and icy demeanor left Christina feeling a wave of sadness and helplessness .


    Tears welled up in her eyes as she bit her lip , trying to keep herposure .


    With a shaky voice , she asked , If you dont care about me anymore , then why are you even here ? Are you here to gloat ? Tough at my mom and brother after they were nearly beaten to death ? Are you here to mock me for being such a blind , foolish woman ? The fear , humiliation , regret , and exhaustion she had bottled up sincest night finially erupted , spilling out in her words and tears .


    Andrews expression faltered slightly as he looked at her .


    He had never seen Christina cry like this before .


    The Christina he knew was strong , stubborn , and fiercely independent someone who never let her pride crack in front of others .


    But now , she sat curled up on the bed , clutching herself tightly as her body shook with quiet sobs .


    He knew that for her to break down like this , her walls must havepletely crumbled .


    Chapter 225 Francesca stepped in at that moment , ncing at Christina with a mix of concern and annoyance .


    Dr.


    Lloyd , why dont you take Ms.


    Stevens out for some fresh air ? She hasnt slept or eaten anything sincest night .


    If she keeps this up , her body wont hold up much longer .


    Christina wiped her tears with trembling fingers her voice firm despite her tiredness .


    Thank you for your concern , Dr.


    Aicker , but Im fine .


    Andrews tone was cold as he retorted , Do you honestly think you know your condition better than a doctor ? Come with me .


    Before Christina could protest further , Andrew grabbed her hand and pulled her toward his office .


    She struggled a few times , but when she caught his sharp , intimidating gaze , she stopped resisting .


    Andrew was no longer the amodating , gentle man she remembered .


    Now , he was unyielding and , at times , even harsh .


    Yet , despite his domineering demeanor , Christina did not feel anger or resentment .


    If anything , hismanding presence sent a nervous flutter through her heart each time .


    Meanwhile , back in the intensive care unit .


    No sooner after Andrew and Christina left , the door swung open .


    A group of ten burly bodyguards , all wearing sunsses , filed in , escorting none other than Harvey himself .
